I am definitely going to make her sweat. She in there reading a bedtime story to her 4 year old sister and everything out of her mouth the last few hours has been "yes ma'am". I am going to milk this for all its worth. I feel a little guilty about making her do all of this knowing I am going to let her go anyway, but not guilty enough not to at least get the house good and clean out of the deal. lol |
I think you are doing a great job. It's how I would handle it. That is, AFTER I made the mistake of threatening the dance.
I just always tried never to threaten anything I didn't have the heart for, never giving them any reason to doubt me. But I understand how things come flying out before you have time to edit them. I'd do just what you're doing. .......Well, actually, I HAVE DONE what you are doing!
